Moving Images: Works from the Permanent Collection of Photography and Video Art

This installation of photographs and single-channel video works is offered in conjunction with fall courses in both Film and Media Culture and the History of Art and Architecture. The exhibition includes works by pioneers of time-lapse photography Eadweard Muybridge and Harold Edgerton, whose images capture bodies in motion, and more recent artists like Hiroshi Sugimoto, who uses extremely long exposure times to create visions of stillness. A number of works included in the exhibition have been selected by students involved in the Contemporary Photography and Film/Video acquisition project inaugurated by Marianne Boesky, Middlebury Class of 1989. Among these are video works by Tracey Moffatt, Peter Campus, and the Swiss team of Peter Fischli and David Weiss.
